If you are looking for a way out of the house, there are a few simple strategies here to help you do it without getting caught. It's important to plan ahead and come up with some excuse to explain if caught. Wait for the whole family to fall asleep and slowly walk out of the house. If you act carefully, like opening the door slowly and walking slowly so that the stairs don't creak, you will be able to get out in the blink of an eye.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Plan ahead

1. 

   Research before the aisle. Watch for how noisy the aisle from your bedroom to a door or window might make, and remember areas that squeak or make loud noises to avoid when it's time to act.
   • For example, if you notice a staircase creaking as you step down, be sure to avoid stepping on it when you sneak out of the house.
   • If the doors creak each time they open or close, you should consider lubricating the hinges for a quieter door.You can use WD-40 oil, Vaseline cream, or even olive oil.

2. 

   
   
   Hide changing clothes outside or near doors. If you do not want to change outside, you should hide the clothes near the door in the drawer or on the shelf and cover it. That way no one will be able to see you in casual clothes while hiding out.
   • It's best to wear your pajamas while you are sneaking out of the house in case someone catches you.

3. 

   
   
   Pack everything you need in your bag, ready to go when it's time. The necessary items can be spare clothing, wallet, keys or cell phone. Put everything in one easy-to-hold bag so you don't have to fumble with items before you go.
   • You will escape more smoothly if you have everything in one bag.

4. 

   
   
   Think ahead of time with an excuse in case you get caught. It would be wise to have a back-up plan if things don't go as they should. Think if someone sees you going out of the house what you have to say so you won't be suspicious of why you're awake now.
   • For example, you might say you get up to get some water to drink, or you hear a noise in the house so go down to check.

5. 

   Note the alarms attached to doors or windows. Many homes have alarms on their doors, and sometimes windows, to let the landlord know that someone is breaking into the home (or in your case!) If your parents put it on Before going to bed, remember to turn it off or try to find another way out of the house.

6. 

   Make sure you can get back the way you escaped. If you are going out the window, make sure you can climb through the window when you get home. If you're planning to sneak out through a door, you'll need a key in hand or a door unlock code if needed.
   • Consider hiding your keys under a doormat in front of your house or under a rock.

Method 2 of 3: Sneak out

1. 

   Wear sleepwear. Wear the clothes you normally wear to bed. Remember not to change your clothes before you sneak out, in case someone sees. The pajamas on the body will help you easily make up an excuse without being suspicious.
   • If you still wear baggy pajamas when you sleep on a regular basis, consider getting dressed in plain clothes to make it easier to change.

2. 

   Make a sound before pretending to sleep. This can be as simple as wishing the whole family a good night before closing the bedroom door so everyone can hear it, or turning on the music or the TV in the room to let everyone think you're busy. That way, maybe your parents won't come into your room to check.
   • If you often listen to music while you fall asleep, turn on the music as usual before you sneak out.

3. 

   Wait for the whole family to fall asleep. It's important to be patient and wait for a good time when your parents fall asleep. If your parents often sleep well, then nothing to worry about. If not, listen to deep breathing or snoring to make sure they can't hear you awake.
   • If you're afraid to wait a long time, set your alarm to silent in case you fall asleep.

4. 

   Put a few pillows under the blanket to disguise yourself as if you were sleeping. This will help if your parents come in to check in when you're out. Arrange several pillows in the shape of the person lying down and cover with the blanket. This scene will look like you are sleeping very soundly in bed.
   • If you want, you can even place a wig over your pillow to look real.

5. 

   Tiptoed along the path toward the door. Go gently down the hallway or through the rooms and down the stairs leading to the door. Don't rush, and try to go as quiet as possible so that no one will hear.
   • If you go out the window, be very careful and gentle when you open the door and climb out.

6. 

   Change clothes when you get to the door or outside. Take out the clothes that you have hidden before and put on instead of your pajamas, remember to move a little. It is best to change your clothes outside so that no one will see you wearing your normal outfit, but if it is not convenient, change it near the door.
   • Hide your pajamas somewhere so you can easily change it back when you get home.

7. 

   Close any doors or windows, make sure you can get in when you get back. Remember to slowly open and close the door, as this step usually makes the most noise. Lock doors if necessary, and remember how you will be able to get inside in a moment.
   • Check to make sure the hidden key is still in place, or put the key in the pocket.
   • If your parents lock the door before going to bed, make sure you lock the door when you go back and go to the bedroom.

Method 3 of 3: Keep it quiet

1. 

   Try to walk on the carpet if you can. If there is a carpet in your home, step on it instead of walking on a wooden floor. The soft carpet will make the footstep sound softer and also help the wooden floor creak.
   • Remember to walk slowly while walking on the floor to avoid making sounds.
   • Consider wearing socks while stepping on the wooden floor.

2. 

   Be alert to hear other people coming. While crept out of the house, focus on listening to all the surrounding sounds. If you listen attentively, you can spot someone walking or approaching you.

3. 

   Open the door slowly to avoid making noise. If you've rehearsed as planned, you'll know which doors squeak or make noises. Turn the door handle slowly gently, then open and close the door slowly.
   • When you open the window, don't push too fast, otherwise the door will make a noise.

4. 

   Place your foot on the side of the stairs as you step down to prevent it from squeaking. The middle part of the stairs squeaks the most. Try to walk close to a railing or wall and step slowly step by step.
   • Lean more against a wall or railing to minimize noise on the steps.
   • The sides of the ladder are the most secure, so there will be less squeaky or noises.

5. 

   Wear shoes after going out. That way, you not only save time, but also don't have to worry about sitting down and tying your shoelaces in the dark or having to pull lightly on high heels towards the door. Wait until you get out and out of sight, then wear your shoes.
   • Put your shoes in your bag so you don't have to mess with your shoes when you leave the house.

6. 

   Have the key in hand to lock or open the door. If your door needs a key when opening or closing the door, please separate the door keys from the set of keys if needed and have them in hand. This way the key won't tinkle and keeps someone in the house awake, and you also save time.
   • When you get home, you should also take out the key to open the door quickly.

Advice

• If your windows have screens, you need to do your research first to find out how to remove them.
• Don't be restless or nervous in front of your parents before you escape, otherwise your parents will be suspicious.
• If your parents often come into your room to check on because you've snuck out of the house in the past, put pillows, stuffed animals, or some other blanket under the blanket to pretend you're in bed.

Warning

• Note that sneaking out of the house can put you in big trouble with your parents.
• If you find yourself in a dangerous situation when you leave home, call someone you trust, such as a parent or another family member.
